Mark Scriven Memorial Championships

Cambridge students recently attended T-UK's inaugural Mark Scriven Memorial Championships in Stratford-Upon-Avon, following
his sad passing last year. The club was represented by both junior and adult competitors and several referees to assist in running the day. Tournaments are about far more than just medals, and this
event did not disappoint. It provided triumphs, but most importantly, valuable experiences for all. Congratulations to all who won medals, but more importantly, well done to all for putting
yourselves out there and challenging yourselves.

President Visits for Black Belt Seminar

Mr Archer VI, President of T-UK visited the club on Saturday 5th March 2016 to conduct a Black Belt Pre-Grading Seminar.
Students wishing to apply to take part in the forthcoming black belt grading attended to gain clearance and valuable feedback to support their preparation. Many other senior grades from the club took
the opportunity to train with their president. Mr Archer was accompanied by Mr Ricky Dhillon IV, who he explained was the first black belt he ever produced as an instructor. Everyone enjoyed the
chance to benefit from their combined wealth of experience, and those grading gained both guidance and confidence in their efforts towards the black belt grading.

100th ITF International Instructors Course

The 100th International Instructors Course (IIC) of the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) was hosted by ITF Scotland
and held in Aberdeen from the 13th - 15th March 2016. This momentous occasion was attended by 23 countries from as far afield as Canada and Australia and a little nearer from Greece and Spain to name
a few. Attendees were in excess of 320 black belts from first degree to Master and Grand Master with training under the International Technical Committee of Grand Master Marano, Grand Master Bos and
Grand Master Lan. Click the photo to see more of the event.

Mr Crisp attends Senior IIC in Italy

In November 2015, Mr Crisp travelled to Treviso Italy, to attend the 98th ITF International Instructors Course. This course was for 4th Degree and above only, so it was an exciting opportunity to
train at the highest possible level with the ITF's technical committee, Grandmasters Marano, Bos and Lan. The IIC courses run over three days and include detailed technical and sparring training. Mr
Crisp also came home with lots of exciting training methods picked up from GM Bos.

Semina with Jaroslaw Suska

Mr Crisp recently attended a seminar conducted by Mr Jaroslaw Suska V Degree. Mr Suska was born in Poland in
1972. His journey in Taekwon-Do began in the spring of 1985. He has won five world Championship titles and an astonishing twenty European Championship titles in the patterns divisions. The seminar
was totally inspirational, with crazy training drills that were just a taste of the methods used by the Polish squad, and demonstrations of his outstanding skills.

The training was exhausting but totally inspirational. We would definitely recommend getting along to one of his
seminars next time he is in the UK.
